Abstract

ABSTRACT We propose a method for constructing the time-dependent phase space distribution function (DF) of a collisionless system from an isolated kinematic snapshot. In general, the problem of mapping a single snapshot to a time-dependent function is intractable. Here, we assume a finite series representation of the DF, constructed from the spectrum of the system’s Koopman operator. This reduces the original problem to one of mapping a kinematic snapshot to a discrete spectrum rather than to a time-dependent function. We implement this mapping with a convolutional neural network. The method is demonstrated on two example models: the quantum simple harmonic oscillator and a self-gravitating isothermal plane. The latter system exhibits phase space spiral structure similar to that observed in Gaia Data Release 2.
